In doing so, we wanted to visually emphasize another aspect of the Hermitage, one that doesn\u2019t just preserve old masters and masterpieces from the past, but also keeps up with modern times by collecting contemporary art. Because a museum is always about connecting different eras and dialogues between epochs and cultures. Here are some of the most significant items from the Hermitage\u2019s contemporary art collection."}
